Strawberry Star Cakes

So this week ClaireJustine asked us to start on Christmas craft activities.

So we decided to experiment with colour and flavour to the basic fairy cake recipe by mixing in the Christmas colour red, and then decorating with Christmas stars 🙂

Mix together
5 medium eggs
6 oz butter
6 oz self raising flour
3 oz castor sugar
A splash of strawberry flavouring
A dash of red food colouring

Spoon into cake cases bake at 180 degrees (fan oven – please adjust your times accordingly) for 15-20 minutes (when the cakes have risen and smell “cooked”)

Leave to cool

Mix up some icing sugar and add a dash of colour.

Spoon the mixture onto the cakes & add stars.

Allow to set.

Eat.

Please note these cakes were loving made and decorated by my 3 youngest children who are 8, 4 & 2.
